Brain teaser...not really that hard?!
Question: A farmer has a goat, a wolf and a head of cabbage. He is standing on one side of the river and needs to get himself and all his belongings to the other side. The problem is he can only take one thing at a time because the boat is so tiny. But he can't leave the goat with the cabbage because the goat will eat the cabbage and he can't leave the wolf and goat alone because the wolf will eat the goat. How does he do it?

Easy!
Goat first, then Cabbage, Take Goat back, Take Wolf, Take Goat.
But wouldnt the animals run away?
take the goat to the other side n put him there, return and then take the wolf with you to the other side n pick the goat from the other side n return, then put the goat n take the cabbage to the other side, return n then take the goat with you.
first the farmer goes with the goat and drops him off at the other side. then he comes back and takes cabbage with him and drops it off at the other side and then he picks up the goat again. he travels back towards the wolf and drops the goat off there and picks up the wolf. He goes towards the cabbage and leaves the wolf there and comes back for the goat. He takes the goat and returns back to the wolf and the cabbage. There u go! he has all 3 on one side!
Row the goat to the other side. Go back and pick up the wolf. Take the wolf to the other side and take the goat back. Leave the goat and take the cabbage to the other side. Now go back and get the goat.
he could eat the cabbage,...then get a case of horrible Bubble guts, and blast his way threw the air across the river holding all tree under his armpits...landing safely but smelly on the other side
take the goat over and leave it, come back for the wolf. take him over and bring the goat back.drop the goat off and take the cabbage back over. leave the cabbage with the wolf and go get the goat.
take the goat across, and go back for the cabbage. pick up the cabbage, and then drop it off on the other side, but this time take the goat back with you, and then swap it for the wolf. take the wolf across, and come back for the goat.
here's a picture:
Goat<---------------------------------... Cabbage & Wolf
Cabbage, Goat-------------------->Goat & Wolf
Cabbage, Wolf<------------------Wolf & Goat
Cabbage, Wolf & Goat<-------Goat
make sense? good :)
Take the goat across- leave him.
Go back.
Collect the President take him to the other side where you leave him.
Collect the goat and return him to the side where the wolf is and take the wolf to the President's side- leave the wolf.
Return for the goat. Take him to see the wolf and the President.
